Not So Sweet Home Alabama

Yes, it's me, AngieDoe, and yes, I'm really stuck in Alabama for the ENTIRE summer.
With a job that doesn't start until the 7th of June, one must find something to do with their time, and as good as "lounging around the house"all day sounds, it get's old, for me at least, after about 4 days.
Therefore, I decided, after be inspired by the movie Julie & Julia, to start a blog of my very own.

SO, This is just me attempting to successfully survive an entire summer in this hell hole that the map of the United States calls ALABAMA......

Enjoy,

TLC??? How about RLC...???

When I say RLC I mean Respect, Love, and Consideration. Chew on that for a minute if you will.
I don't know ANYONE in Huntsville, Alabama except my uncle, my mother, and my mother's boyfriend. I suppose my mother feels bad about this. So, with her being the loving, God-fearing mother that she is, she "suggested" that I go to the youth revival at her church tonight to meet other people around my age. Now, if you know my mother, you know that a "suggestion" isn't a really a suggestion. Meaning, I am now obligated to go.
At first I was totally against attending the revival. Then after some careful thoughts about my life and the person that I am blessed to call "mom", I decided to give it a go. I had to remind myself of all the love, care, and generosity she has thrown my way these past 20 years. A quote I ran across also helped.

"The most powerful lessons about ethics and morality...come from family life where people treat one another with respect, consideration, and love." - Neil Kurshan

This will be my proverb of the day. Since I do love and respect my mother, it was wrong of me to immediately discard the idea of attending the revival without even considering it first. I may actually learn something tonight, and since you do, after all, learn something new everyday, this looks to be just the ticket. Meeting someone would be a plus.
The revival lasts 3 days. I guess I could at least show up ONE day ;)
